McQuay Memories: {Labor Day}

So all of you who thought that you had the greatest husband - sorry...mine is. Please let me explain.

For Labor Day Sean and I had zero plans - he was going to study for the GMAT and do school stuff while I did school stuff. Awesome. Well - I was woken up at 8 am by my sweet husband who had the song "Banana Pancakes" playing and he told me that he had made me banana pancakes for breakfast! awesome? - of course!! While I was eating those he told me I should probably go get dressed in jeans and a tshirt cause we had to leave the house by 9. Leave the house? I thought we were going to be homework-hermits all day - apparently not. We were going to Timp Caves to do the Intro to Caving adventure thing!

- background story - about 2 months ago Sean's little sist

er Megan was staying with us and we hike timp caves together and did that whole business. While we were getting a tour of the cave the tour guide said that there is the into to caving adventure thing that you could do in the cave where you go to different parts of the cave and climb ropes and see awesome things.... Sean and I were sold. We wanted to do that! So we had planned a day to go, but something came up and we had to change it, so we planned another day, but we went to St. George instead, and then we planned another day, but I had to work at the football game, and there were no more openings for the rest of the season. the last day to do it was Labor day and that tour was already filled up. Sean begged the lady on the phone to give him a call if there were ANY openings because we didn't want to wait til next year - and there were 2 openings for Labor day!!

So we hiked up and did the cave exploration thing! - it was really really cool! I recommend it to anyone in the Utah area. Here are some pictures from that awesomeness:

So after our awesome caving adventure we were pretty hungry and went out looking for a place to eat on our way home. Along the road we saw one of the trucks selling fresh corn so we stopped - per Sean's request - and bought some fresh corn (it was pretty good!) and continued on our way. A couple hundred yards later there was a little shack set up selling more fresh produce - Sean wanted to stop again, I didn't, back forth, back forth - ok, we decided to stop, but that didn't mean we were going to buy anything. The owners were mexican and Sean, being awesome like he is, started talking to them in Spanish. At the back of the shack they had a grill set up and the were making tacos [and by tacos I mean good, Mexian meaty tacos in corn tortillas - not the kind from taco bell, people...]. Sean asked if they were selling them so we could eat it for lunch - the cute little lady said, [in spanish, of course...] "no, but i'll make you some!" we offered to pay, but she wouldn't take any so we got some delish mexican tacos!! they were fantastic! We decided to buy some tomatillos after that =]. It was a good idea we stopped.

After that little jaunt we weren't quite full yet cause the tacos were small we decided to stop at In n' Out to grab just a little something else. It was the first time for either of us and we were pretty pleased! We will have to return, i'm sure.

Then we stopped at our little garden and gathered more deliciousness food!

Interjection - Sean interrupted me while I was writing this and said, "You know what I've been thinking a lot about lately, love? Having four legs - ya know, like a cat. I just feel after the hike and stuff my legs are tired and I'm so sluggish like this *demonstrates*... but if I had 4 legs it would be so much easier and I could just bound like they do - ya know what I mean? Like in the movies, it just looks so easy for them!.....Do you think i'm crazy? Why are you laughing...what are you typing? Is this going in the blog?"

The answer - yes.

Hahaha..I love my husband.

Continuing - So we went to the garden, stopped by Costco (Closed! sad....), Bed Bath and Beyond, and PetSmart. Good day.

then we came home and I worked on a couple crafty projects [while Sean studied/hw-ed] including:

This trash bag holder [the trash bags were taking over under the sink...]
